I downloaded Ad-Aware and ran it. I've been doing that for months. Then I tried Spybot. That did some more. Then I tried the two of them combined with a registry editor. That's where I ran into trouble.

In my ignorance I deleted the entire HKLM\...\Run key. So, now I'm terrified to restart my computer. I've tried numerous times to undo what I did but to no avail.

I also still have terrible problems with spyware\adware. Something on my computer is constantly downloading trojan viruses, there allways seems to be some IE window running in the background (that I can't seem to get to) with script errors, and there's a bunch of junk folders and files in my system32 folder.
